Europe-Japan: Conflict or Cooperation?

Andreas Agt

Chapter 1 in Japan: A European Perspective, 1993, pp 3-10 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When I left Japan at the end of 1989 to take up my assignment in Washington, I submitted to the European Commission in Brussels my end of mission report entitled ‘A triangle with a dotted line’. The gist of that report was that the much-talked-about triangle (between the US, Europe and Japan) is, in fact, a mirage. Whereas the US is firmly connected, in various ways, both with Europe and Japan, relations between the latter two are poor and brittle, confined to purely economic matters, devoid of a political or cultural dimension — no more than a dotted line indeed.
